Chapter 1110 Dark Horse and King

Leicester City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at home thanks to a header from Vardy, the season's prolific goalscorer.

Another "victory for the common people", the Leicester reporters rejoiced that they were able to overwhelm a bunch of traditional giants in one-third of the schedule, just like the defending champions like Manchester United were also trampled down by them.How can you not be excited?
It was Vardy, a prolific shooter this season, who scored the winning goal for them. He currently ranks third in the scorer list with eight goals. They were picked up one by one by the reporters, and after reading it, I concluded that it was even more inspirational than Captain Tsubasa.

This is a later story. It is not yet time to play head-to-head against Manchester United. If Leicester City does not fall from the top position in these three league rounds, Vardy must be the focus of this top battle.

This is the opponent, Leicester City, who is in full condition and has not suffered a defeat so far. For Manchester United, this is a difficult opponent to deal with.There is something unique about the rise of every dark horse, especially in an environment like the Premier League.Many media have begun to hype the preview of this game, focusing all their attention on them.

"If Manchester United can't stop the crazy Leicester, the other opponents surrender."

This is the headline of the Leicester media. It is crazy and arrogant, but there is still a market. Many media have followed suit and focused all their attention on Manchester United.

Mourinho naturally has his own way. The training at the Carrington base was closed for a week. A group of reporters ate the door. Mourinho only said one sentence to the reporters: "If from now on At the beginning you only have Leicester City in your eyes, then the team's training will not reopen until after that game."

It's very simple. Mourinho has never been sloppy in dealing with this kind of matter, and has fundamentally eliminated the influence of the outside world. He doesn't care about the mood of the reporters. He only knows that closing the door like this can let everyone know what to do now .

"Listen, there are still three league rounds, and a Carling Cup, guys, I don't want to hear the word 'Leicester City', if you guys think too much now, then this person must not be the one Start the game, or I will give you an option, move to Leicester City, after all, they are the top team, and going there may bring you closer to the title."

Although it was simple and rude, some people felt uncomfortable, but gradually everyone got used to it. The players standing here are all experienced professional players, and they can still figure out the priorities.

The League Cup has reached the round of [-]. From the start of the league to now, Manchester United have gone through three rounds. Until now, they have really encountered a slightly challenging opponent-Middlesbrough, which is ranked in the top eight of the British Championship. , used to be a Premier League team, with ruthless people like Schwarzer and Downing.

Manchester United almost repeated the tragedy of being overturned by Milton Keynes last season.Mourinho originally wanted to save his strength and didn't let Zhou Tiancheng start. Fortunately, he saved a hand and took Zhou Tiancheng with the team to the away game. At the last moment, relying on Zhou Tiancheng to come off the bench to grab points in the penalty area, Manchester United managed a thrilling 1: 0 beat opponents.

Just in the locker room, Mourinho took the opportunity to scold everyone.

"I have to say, luckily I saved a hand and let Zhou come here with us, otherwise what would have happened? Do you think you are strong enough? Look, without Zhou, you might not even win a Championship team Our goal is only the championship - this is just saying to the journalists, but it does not mean that we only value the championship team, gentlemen! Even Real Madrid does not pay enough attention to the opponent, he does not deserve to win the championship!"

Zhou Tiancheng's expression became a little exciting. He could see that Mourinho was really impatient, and he did not hesitate to expose his black spots. In those years, Real Madrid did not have any success. The league was suppressed by Barcelona, ​​and the Champions League was defeated by Barcelona for several consecutive seasons. Dortmund has it - he has a share of the credit.

Moreover, Mourinho really pointed at Zhou Tiancheng and said: "It's lucky, Middlesbrough doesn't have any powerful people. If there were people like Zhou, I'm afraid they would have paid the price long ago."

Zhou Tiancheng pinched his nose, a little helpless, since when did he become a ruler?

Although it should be something to be proud of being mentioned by a head coach like Mourinho, Zhou Tiancheng does not enjoy this honor, perhaps because he has been praised too much.

……

Perhaps in the face of this opponent, all the stars of Manchester United really underestimated the enemy. Compared with their opponents in the league, this former Premier League team really did not get on the stage. Back in the league, they did not make such mistakes again.

联赛No.11轮1:0击败水晶宫，No.12轮2:0击败西布朗，No.13轮2:1逆转沃特福德，周天成在这三场比赛中打进了两记世界波。

No.14 round is the highlight, the collision between Manchester United and Leicester City.

As the media wished, this was a meeting between the top teams. Leicester City also won three consecutive victories, with the two teams accumulating 34 and 36 points respectively.

What is even worse for Manchester United is that they are going away in this game.

Leicester City's home court may not be as terrifying as Anfield, but at this time, going to the home court of the big dark horse to challenge opponents is definitely something no one wants to encounter.Strength is one aspect, and the off-court factors alone are enough for a person to drink a pot.

Leicester, also translated as Leicester in Chinese, is located in Leicestershire, East Midlands, England. It is a small city with only 30 people, which is at best the size of a small county in China.

What is the concept of a team that is born here at the top of the Premier League and even hopes to touch the championship trophy of England's top league?
Almost everyone came out in full force. Extreme fans ran to the door of Manchester United's hotel to cheer, holding up the banner of Vardy, the leading striker, with their backs to their opponents, stepping on the ball. Their shiny bald heads are the most handsome in the eyes of these fans. symbols of.

"Valdy is invincible!"

"Manchester United is doomed!"

"Want to monopolize the championship? Dream!"

The fans of Leicester City had no ambitions. The team can avoid relegation, and they are already satisfied with staying on the Premier League stage.But now when there is such a hope of reaching the top, it will be different.

Never underestimate ordinary people. They just have no chance to become extraordinary. Once their ambitions swell, these seemingly inconspicuous characters are the ones who really dare to fight. According to an old saying: Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

In the eyes of Leicester City fans, Manchester United, which already has 21 championship trophies, is the absolute king.

Now, they not only want to scare the king, but also bring down his horse.

This is their place!
